Actual Size of RAM.

I recently bought a computer. It has a 256 MB DDR ram (128 mb in two slots).
But Linux and windows shows it as 240MB(Windows) and 232MB(Linux). When I asked my local vendor about it, he said that rest of memory is used as VGA memory.
The mother board is Intel 865GBF Which has inbuilt AGP.

Is he correct?
But according to what i have studied The VGA memory must be in the VGA card. It cannot be in RAM.

It is onboard AGP adapter. Standalone cards are use it's own memory, but onboard VGA chip can share RAM. It is normal. But why Win shows different size than Lin? It's dependent of selected configuration

It's dependent of selected configuration (I think). Try use anything like SiSoft Sandra http://www.3bsoftware.com. It give you detailed report rather than single number that confused peoples.
